Gale, Eddie Now Band With Parker, William – “Vision Festival X NYC” – [www.eddiegale.com]

Cousin Mary   7/25/2009   CD, Jazz

Trumpeter Eddie Gale is San Jose???s Jazz Ambassador and has recently held charity concerts to raise funds to provide health care to jazz musicians. Apparently his playing caused quite a stir in New York at this 2005 festival since most people haven???t heard much about him since his 1960???s recordings. Original, hard driving, noisy, energetic mostly free jazz with great synergy among the players.
